Abbott & Costello 2009 version

[Big N' Blue]

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:


COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT



ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO : Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den
and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT : Mac?

COSTELLO : No, the name's Lou ..

ABBOTT : Your computer?

COSTELLO : I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT : Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou ..

ABBOTT : What about Windows?

COSTELLO : Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT : Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO : I don't know. What will I see when I look at
the windows?

ABBOTT : Wallpaper.

COSTELLO : Never mind the windows. I need a computer and
software.

ABBOTT : Software for Windows?

COSTELLO : No. On the computer! I need something I can
use to write proposals, track expenses and run my
business. What do you have?

ABBOTT : Office.

anything?

COSTELLO : I get a bundle of money with my computer? How
much?

ABBOTT : One copy.

COSTELLO : Isn't it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT : Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO : They can give you a license to copy money?
